Brandon Lapi is not a big talker, or even the least bit demonstrative, on the wrestling mat. When the Amsterdam senior star completed his final match in Section II competition Sunday at Glens Falls Civic Center, he found a subtle way to speak to his dominant career as he counted out his titles. He reached five.

Lapi, in typical fashion, controlled things from the outset in the Division I 138-pound final vs. Shenendehowa's Kevin Parker in posting a 6-0 victory. For his efforts, Lapi was selected as the Division I Most Outstanding Wrestler.

"I knew I could take him down real easy. I just wanted to keep the pace going because I knew he couldn't take me down," Lapi said. "I worked too hard to let him beat me."

Sunday's championship is Lapi's fifth Section II title and he will make his fifth appearance at the state championships Feb. 28-March 1 at Times Union Center. The victory over Parker pushes Lapi's scholastic record to 260-23.

"It is a great feeling. You work for this all your life," Lapi said. "My goal is to definitely win the state tournament."

Lapi finished second at 132 in the 2013 state championships at Times Union Center. The senior's lone loss during the 2013-14 season came in a 2-1 setback against Burnt Hills star Joey Butler wrestling at 145.

Despite his incredible success inside Section II circles, Lapi only has one objective left unfilled — a state title.

"It means everything to me. I've been working toward it since I was four years old to become a state champ," Lapi said. "It is what means the most to me in my career."

Burnt Hills, led by champions Christian Gramuglia (99, 100th career win), Butler (145) and Jake Ashcraft (170), captured Division I team title honors with 177 points. Shenendehowa, paced by champs Jesse Porter (152) and Levi Ashley (195), finished second with 163 points. Ashley, ranked No. 1 in the state, improved to 38-0 with a pin over Queensbury's Chris Goudy at 4:50.

In the 'I'm-not-wasting-any-time-match" of the Division I championship slate, Colonie's Wayne Burt scored an immediate takedown against Bethlehem's Chris Tangora in the final at 220. He secured the pin at 41 seconds.

"I stuck to my game plan and hoped it would come out for the best," said Burt, who won his first sectional title. "It was definitely a mindset. I wanted to come out and get the lead early so I could dictate the match."

Right after Burt's triumph, heavyweight Austin Dicerbo capped Colonie's best title showing with a pin over Saratoga's Matt Holton at 2:23. Dicerbo, who just landed a Division II scholarship at Assumption, joined Golan Cohen (120), Isaiah Cooks (182) and Burt as champions for the Garnet Raiders.

"This feels really good to have four sectional champs — the most in Colonie history. It speaks to all the hard work and preparation we had from preseason through the season," said Burt.

In easily one of the most anticipted and impressive outings of the day, Albany Academy standout Matt Morris defeated Hoosick Falls' Luis Weierbach for the second time this season with a 4-3 decision. Weierbach, who is headed to Division I Army in the fall, won the Division II 106-pound state title in 2013.

"Beating him the first time gave me a lot of confidence," Morris said of his win over Weierbach at Eastern States. "It was a big match for me."

Figuring on the aggressive Weierbach's desire to establish control early, Morris instead was the grappler to grab a 2-0 lead in the first period.

"That was going through my mind as well, which is why I wanted to get the early takedown," Morris said.

Morris was named the Division II Most Outstanding Wrestler.

Although Schalmont came up just short of claiming the team title, senior heavyweight Marcus Romundo capped the evening with a 4-2 overtime win over Cohoes' Nick Scott. He joined teammates Nick Gallo (182) and Tim Flower (195) as Division II champions.
